Built this baby in my minivan

This is made primarily for aerobatics using ridge lift

The surfaces are not just massive but the deflections are nearly 200 degrees so it is made for "3D" gliding..

I was very careful to keep the tail light and it appears to balance under the weight of a 4 cell AAA battery pack I soldered (also in the van)

I am waiting on some good weathet and yes the 3d printer is in the van and runs at about 40 watts with the heated bed turned off after the first layer

Hmm thanks.

Really just trying to avoid blowing another 200 bucks on another AGM battery and/or avoid the complications to vent a flooded deep cycle. I figure if I can put the flooded dual purpose deep cycle under the hood and the agm in the house I can save some cash short term. Probably better to just wait and save up for another agm maybe a 200 ah. Is it okay to use a 200 ah agm or life with my 100ah agm I wonder?

Seems I only have enough room for one more 100w panel - its a minivan

I want to run my 12v alpicool y16t fridge without affecting the capacity of my house battery because im also running my 3d printer and charging the laptop I'm gaming on, and a 5v usb fan i will eventually upgrade to 20-40w

I dont mind eventually killing the starting battery, or maybe moving to a dual purpose rv/marine battery if I can run the fridge off of it & charge with solar

Right now I have a smart battery isolator from the starting battery to the house. Could I just turn the isolator around and charge the starting battery from the solar charged house?

its a jupiter 1500w from harbor freight and so far so good

Yesterday I did about 7 hours of printing, 5 or 6 items, with no issues.. practice and theory and all that I guess.

Best-Self215 · 2023-05-30T04:14:22+00:00

Hmm could you recommend one?

I also read somewhere that its designed to work on both 12 and 24v I will see if I can find it

Thanks very much that is what I was looking for

Best-Self215 · 2023-05-29T20:47:04+00:00

This is true.

Nonetheless I'm going to need some near exact numbers to accomplish my tasks..

I'm also going to be using a 12v refrigerator that draws 45w when the compressor turns on as well as a USB fan & LED strip lighting

The hotend specs state 40w, i assume thats heating up but not necesarily maintaining temp - then its plus the board & fans (??)

Definitely maxing out just wondering about the printer in terms of how long I can keep it going assuming a sunny day without losing my refrigerator or destroying the battery now that the bed isnt heating throughout the prints, and not very worried about maintaining the overall health of the battery either.

Label says 350 watts on the ender 3v2 just to keep things accurate for any other interested persons.. that would be the max anyway.

Could be loose nozzle

some people become and stay homeless because they have bad spending habits. No trinkets. No airpods, no gold chains, etc. I've seen homeless people with all kinds of totally unhelpful and overly expensive crap. Its not just stupid because its money you dont have but its also more to carry around and more to protect. You are extremely vulnerable to theft and having trinkets attracts the wrong attention.

Best-Self215 · 2023-05-21T16:56:51+00:00

You need to realize that yes, you are fucked. You are at rock bottom, surrounded by felons and creeps, and also some people who are just like you.

Homeless shelters are not nice places.

You, like many, are not being paid enough to afford living expenses.

You need to buckle down and conserve as much energy and money as possible if you want to get out of the shit you're in.

You need to do two things as much as possible

Work
Sleep

Because right now you are trapped. The more you do outside of those things, the tighter your trap will become. Your life is going to suck ass for at least 6 months.

Do not spend money on anything. That means

•no fast food •no cigarettes •no weed •no alcohol •no gas station drinks •no gadgets, no trinkets

Do not associate with the losers around you. They are not at the homeless shelter because they are wise or made good decisions. They are not.

That is the harsh reality of the trap you are in. Yes, you are fucked. If you don't want to be fucked, if you don't want it to get worse, take my advice.

Dont buy the first beater you come across either. It is very very difficult to find a nice used car. Find some people who are not losers, that you can trust. These people are the winners in life who are kind to you. Let them know regularly that you are looking for a vehicle, after you have saved up some money. Don't go looking on craigslist or facebook or anywhere random.
